3. Image of P(3,5) on the line y = x + 1 is Q. Then Q lies on

4. If A ® (B ® A) then which of the following is contrapositive

sin q sin 2q(sin 6 q + sin 4 q + sin 2 q) 2 sin 4 q + 3sin 2 q + 6

2 sin 2 q cos 2q(sin 6 q + sin 4 q + sin 2 q) 2sin 4 q + 3sin 2 q + 6

Let sinq = t cosq dq = dt

tan 2q (1 + cos2q) > 0

òp (sin x – cos x) dx = [ – cos x – sin x ]p /4
